The concrete floors meet and explode
There was enough energy generated by the descent of the top part of the tower that when the two floors met, they completely destroyed each other?

I fail to see how this is progress for him.
I've taken the liberty of creating a diagram illustrating your new analysis of the collapse dynamics following collapse initiation:

I do not find it convincing.

Did you ever wonder why we did not see any of the floor pans come flying out of the building along with the steel girders ? Or any rebar mesh from the floor reinforcing. There was 110 ACRES of each of these two items in each building.
Especially the floor pans that the floor concrete was poured into. I believe there were 48 per floor- times 110 equals more than 5,000 of these pans. Believe it or not...there don't seem to be any in the wreckage on the ground either..and virtually no rebar...Any ideas ?
oops

That looks good but completely loses it's impact when ypu realise that the bottom half of the screen is the footprint of the 500,000 ton building. A section of the perimeter wall of WTC1 is leaning against the wreck of WTC6. Do you see any floor pans in the bottom half of the picture ?
Here's a close up of a stack of floor pans saved to a hangar at Kennedy airport

The funny part about your posts; you have no point. You never have a point and post stupid statements and moronic videos. Keep up the off topic posts of stupid ideas.That looks impressive but completely loses it's impact when ypu realise that the bottom half of the screen is the footprint of the 500,000 ton building. A section of the perimeter wall of WTC1 is leaning against the wreck of WTC6. Do you see any floor pans in the bottom half of the picture ?
The floor pans are 22ga steel. That's 0.0295" thick. How much of it do you think should steel be in "pan" form?

Almost razorblade thickness. Hmmm.....it had no stuctural or support function Then ?

Myriad..see it in slow moton... The top block falls and impacts the top of part A. The concrete floors meet and explode and the columns in both parts are the first next thing to reach their respctive next floors. Of course they completely chew them up as teeth chew food. Not only that...the upper and lower teeth are meshing. Some pieces of floors are still janging off columns and getting caught up. Friction is increasing, the mass above is decreasing as it's former floors turn to loose rubble, much of which will all away to the sides.
I'll clarify, how much of it do you think should still be in "pan" form post collapse? How would explosive demolition differ in the this amount versus a typical collapse?
Clarify this then. When they poured the concrete and added the rebar it was still wet right ? So how did the floorpans which were up to 1/48th of an acre in size each support that weight of concrete and steel if the steel was only as thick as you imply (0.029''). I hope you were not being misleading ?

Little more than form work to support the concrete floor as it cured. It played little significance in the strength of the floor. In fact one of the reasons it is corrugated was to provide stiffness so it would not collapse under the weight of wet concrete. The bridging trusses on which the pans rested prevented the pans from folding up and falling between the floor trusses.
Are you saying that a 22ga deck CANT span the distances required in the WTC?
Good explanation. But it still will not explain where they are all gone. Or the 110 acres of rebar either.
